Inthar's mode names
The following names are taken from a fictional semiquartal-based musical culture.
- LLsLsLsLs Tsimmaïan (tsim-ə-EE-ən)
- LsLLsLsLs Tavulian
- LsLsLLsLs Lannian
- LsLsLsLLs Bonzhian
- LsLsLsLsL Tjatupian (chə-TOO-piən)
- sLLsLsLsL Zierokian
- sLsLLsLsL Vashmian
- sLsLsLLsL Pahnachian
- sLsLsLsLL Iporian
One can think of 5L 4s modes as being built from two pentachords (division of the perfect fourth into four intervals) plus a whole tone. The possible pentachords are LsLs, sLLs, and sLsL. (In this fictional culture, these pentachords are called Lannin, Zierokin, and Vašmin, respectively, and is part of a larger system of pentachords based around the semifourth.)
TODO: Does having native mode names make sense?
